Pratap A. Rana

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Producer with questionable notability that is also a rather non inherited issue. Apparently his daughter is notable in the Indian film community which seems to be this guys claim to fame. Due to the fact that he only seem to produce 2 films over 60 years ago there seems to be very little info to be found. Either a delete or a redirect be the best.

@Wgolf Pratap A. Rana produced two films 'Vidya' (1948) and 'Jeet' (1949), which are still watched till this date and starred the famouus actors Suraiya and Dev Anand. He also wrote the script of 'Jeet'. There is no issue of being connected with his daughter for fame. He is still remembered for his contribution to Bollywood by his films.

 * Comment His notability claim comes from being a producer of those two films. The age of the two films he made doesnt matter. The question is if those two movies are notable and were/are subject of coverage in significant independent reviews and media. That should be evaluated. Then he would easily pass WP:FILMMAKER. That obv could be a bit hard because such sources are probably offline. Dead Mary (talk) 14:01, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

@Dead Mary @Dream out loud. Both the films Vidya (film) and Jeet (1949 film) were produced and scripted (Jeet) by Pratap A. Rana and are very notable films. Both are watched keenly to this day. They are both available on You Tube. Superstars of yesteryears Suraiya and Dev Anand acted in both the films. Vkjoshi123 (talk) 04:25, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete in this case as there's simply nothing establishing genuine independent notability apart from those listed works, and none of it suggests otherwise better hence delete is the only sensible option. SwisterTwister   talk  06:27, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Independent notability is not necessarily a problem when dealing with movie producers (criterion #3) if the work itself is notable and significant, as two of his are ( 1 and  2). Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 03:35, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
